Summary

In project P.PSH.0305 a study investigated the effect of an Ovine Glycoprotein MLA008C6 on the development of osteoarthritis in a rat model. It was administered as a supplement in a standard rodent diet at two concentrations (0.1 & 1.0%, w/w). In addition the Precursor form of this test preparation was also supplemented in the same standard diet at the 1.0%. The test preparations were chosen as they had exhibited anti-inflammatory activity in a rat model of acute joint inflammation (carrageenan).
